URL gadgets that use HTTPS are broken if the user has "warn when switching between secure and not-secure modes" #105

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a Gadget with type="url" where the href is an https url
2. In IE, set the Tools > Internet Options > Advanced setting option to
"warn when switching between secure and not-secure modes"
3. Install the gadget in Google Desktop
4. The gadget in Google Desktop simply ends up saying that it cannot load
the web page within the gadget.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The output should be that the gadget just works, showing the secure page. 
I assume that when Google Desktop under the covers uses the IE Browser
control, it is not properly responding to the notification from the control
of a transition into https mode, and so the control just gives up on
loading the web page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

5.8.809.23506 on Windows XP.
